Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for visiting!
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support 3D4E by clicking here.
It's almost been a full two weeks since we released our crowdfunding campaign...and we can't thank you enough for your generosity! We've managed to raise over $2500, significantly more than our current club funds. Check out the articles that were written this past week about our project:

Daily Bruin: https://dailybruin.com/2018/02/12/students-use-3-d-printing-to-bring-music-to-underprivileged-children/
Word is definitely spreading, but we would love to have your help in continuing to share our campaign with your network as we try to get as close as we can to our goal. Thank you again for your support!
Sincerely,
The 3D4E Team
Wow! It's been a crazy week. We at 3D4E would love to send a gigantic thank you for spending the time to donate to our cause and helping us reach 20% of our goal. You have been extremely generous, but the work is not yet done. We are just getting started, and we could definitely use your help promoting our campaign to your networks if you have the time to do so. Nevertheless, we are incredibly grateful for your efforts and wish you the best this winter season.
P.S. Here is a photo of our most recent iteration of our ukulele. Check it out! It sounds fantastic.
$20 will get us a much needed roll of PLA filament that we will certainly need to print the designs we produce on a computer. Filament is our "ink" for our 3D printers and the fuel to our projects. In exchange, you'll receive a 3D4E keychain as a token of our gratitude if you know someone in the club or if you are on campus. (hence, a tax deductible donation of $18).
Carbon particulates in plastic filament makes everything stronger. Your donation makes our project stronger. For every $50, we can bring the music to a youth recipient at Maryvale and give them his or her 3D printed ukulele. If you're on campus or know someone in the club, you'll get a 3D printed bruin bear for your school-spirited contribution.
The step into the world of metal 3D printing opens many doors. Your gift does just the same. 3D printing gives us the ability to rapidly prototype many quadcopters--$150 gives us the ability to outfit each prototype with electronics to run cameras or other cool features for competition. Thank you! We'll ship you a 3D printed model of Powell Library for your dedication. (hence, a tax deductible donation of $140).
Steel, like your gift, was an industrial game-changer. Being over half the cost of large 3D printers, $300 will tilt us over the expensive price boundaries of 3D printers as well as finance the raw materials of many ukuleles for event at Maryvale. We'll give you a shout out on our Facebook page as well as a Powell Library and Iron Man Arc Reactor shipped to you. (hence, a tax deductible donation of $280).
This material is the coolest to work with, just like your gift. Thank you! Your gift is enough to purchase one of the printers we are planning to get, which boasts a large build platform to help us mass produce our instruments. We'll add you as a sponsor to our website and give you a shout-out on Facebook. (fully tax deductible!)
So amazingly awesome that it isn't widely 3D printed except in our dreams. Your generosity is similarly unparalleled. We'll put you as a sponsor on our website and send you an invitation to be a guest at our Spring Showcase during spring quarter. If you're a part of a company, we'll invite you to table at the event if you would like. Additionally, we'll ship you a 3D printed ukulele as well (hence, a tax deductible donation of $975).
